About our external mastic in Bushey Heath
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. If you are dealing with joints where the bead has come unstuck and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around Bushey Heath, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Bushey Heath
Do you work for landlords with property near Carpenders Park station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Bushey Heath in your area for external mastic?

Is the work guaranteed?

Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Bushey Heath and the rest of Hertfordshire.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working and can lead to cracking. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like Bushey Heath, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so neither cracks the other.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. Resealing the joints early keeps water out.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Walls and rooflines in Bushey Heath
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Headstone Manor (about 2.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Bushey Heath has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Bushey Heath Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Carpenders Park station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Leave it or put it right?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. In an older home around Bushey Heath, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
